b) What is the firm’s profit margin?

c) What is the firm’s ROA

Suppose the firm undertakes a supply chain improvement project. It improves its service level to customers by opening more warehouses which means it will be able to deliver more quickly to customers. The result is a 10% increase in sales. Assume cost of goods sold increases by 6%. The new warehouse requires additional new asset investment of $40,000. Fixed expenses increase by $1,000 because of the expense of operating the warehouses. Assume other variables do not change. Answer the following three questions based on this information.

c) Show the new strategic profit model.

Explanation / Answer

1. Strategic Profit Model is nothing but dupont Analysis, which describes efficiency of the orgnization to turn Assets and Investments into profit.

It is measured in terms of Return of Equity as product of Return on Assets and Financial Leverage

Retun on Equity (Net Profit/Equity) -----------> Return on Assets ----------> Asset Turnover Ratio X Net Profit Margin

X

Financial Leverage ---------> Total Assets/Equity.

In above Case, based on data given

Asset Turn Over Ratio = Net Sales/Total Assets = 250000/125000 = 2.00

Net Profit Margin = Net Profit/Net Sales.

Net Profit = Net Sales - COGS - Variable Expenses - Fixed Expenses

= $ 40000

Net Profit Margin = 40000/250000 = 16%

Financial Leverage = Total Assets / Equity

2. Net Profit Margin = Net Profit/Net Sales.

Net Profit = Net Sales - COGS - Variable Expenses - Fixed Expenses

= $ 40000

Net Profit Margin = 40000/250000 = 16%

3. ROA = Net Profit/Total Assets = 40000/125000 = 0.32 or 32%

Now, the firm undertakes a supply chain improvement project. It improves its service level to customers by opening more warehouses which means it will be able to deliver more quickly to customers. The result is a 10% increase in sales. Assume cost of goods sold increases by 6%. The new warehouse requires additional new asset investment of $40,000. Fixed expenses increase by $1,000 because of the expense of operating the warehouses.  Assume other variables do not change.

Revised Sales = 250000 * 1.10 = $ 275000

COGS = 150000*1.06 = $159000

Variable Expenses = $ 25000 (Unchanged)

Fixed Expenses = $ 36000

Net Profit = Net Sales - COGS - Variable Expenses - Fixed Expenses = $ 55000

With $ 40000 of additional investment, New Asset level is $ 165000

d) New Asset Turnover = Revised Net Sales /Revised Assets Level

= 275000/165000 = 1.67

e) New Return on Assets = 55000/165000 = 0.3333 = 33.33%
